Possibly Pregnant
I have had the need to urinate more often than usual. a while after i finish drinking something i have to hurry up and go to the bathroom. this has never happened before. i can usually drink a bottle of water and not go to restroom for quite some time. now as soon as i'm done i'm already up to go to the bathroom. also when i urinate and when i'm almost done i feel this pressure right above my pubic bone like i have to push. i'm due to start my period today or tomorrow. is it too soon to take a test.
So What Happened?™
Well the bleeding has finally stopped. Doctor put me on prometrium and was on complete bed rest until 2 weeks ago. baby is getting bigger and healthier. Found out we were going to have twins but ended up loosing one of them. want to thank all of you for your response. it's helpful.

Besides what everyone else is saying, peeing frequently could also be a sign of diabetes. But hopefully it's not that.

Sounds like you might have a bladder infection or a start of a yeast infection, A doctors visit needs to be done. Don't wait to long if it is a bladder infection it could get painful the longer you wait to go to the doctors.
Good Luck

Hi I.
It seems that you got a bladder infection. try drinking lots of cranberry juice. You can also buy "AZO" which works in the form of a natural med that works in your bladder for pain & makes it easier to urinate to "flush" the bad stuff. You can find it almost at any store over the counter (Wal-Mart, Target, Walgreens etc.)

It sounds like it could be a urinary tract infection with the urgency and frequency you describe. Any burning or odd smell to your urine? UTI would be my first thought, especially with the complaint you voice about pressure and wanting to "push". Do you have a MD that works on the weekend, or who you can call? They could order a urinalysis and you'd know pretty quick if it is a UTI and you could start treatment so you'd feel better.

To me it sounds like a UTI or a bladder infection. I will say though I had that feeling at the beginning of my pregnancy, but I also found out I had a UTI at my 1st prenatal vistit. Better get it checked out.

as much as I would like to say take a pregnancy test, my urine related pregnancy symptom was that I would get up every night to pee. Never during the day. My medical impression is that you have a UTI. You have "frequency", feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder, urgency. Do you have pain? Any blood in your urine? It may show up as pink right now. I would just have the Dr take a urine sample. They can dip it for UTI and Pregnancy. Definitely drink cranberry juice and water. A TON of it! Good luck.

My first thought was UTI or bladder infection. If you've never had one before I would see the dr, just to get a clear diagnosis. Heck see the dr anyway, they'll probably run a pg test on you just to make sure. Good luck, I hope you're pg and not at the start of an infection.

It sounds like a bladder infection. They have home tests for that too. If it is a bladder infection make sure you see a doctor so it doesn't spread to your kidneys

you can take a pregnancy test as early as 10 days after conception. It doesn't have to be an early resonse test. They all do the same thing. Good advertising though. I actually bought a First Response and a generic one (I like to experiment) for my last pregnancy. I was tracking my ovulation so I knew about when conception occured. I took the First Response first thing in the AM and the line was SO faint you could hardly see it. Anyone else would have said it was neg. I took the generic one next and it was a bright pos line....Good luck!

I don't know if you've already discovered what's up or not, or if anyone's already mentioned this, but if it continues and there is no obvious reason for it, you may want to look up Interstitial Cystitis. It took me several months of frequent urination and bladder pain (first with an infection, and then without) and visits to several different urologists before I finally found someone who diagnosed me. I was drinking cranberry juice and doing all the things recommended for bladder infections which turned out to be making things 100 times worse. I ended up being on a special diet for over a year and now I'm pretty much back to normal.

I am not a doctor but you sound like its the starting of a bladder infection. Buy some Cranberry juice and drink that for awhile. Dilute it with water if it is too sweet. If the problem persists after a week, and you are concerned I would go to a doctor to make sure you don't need a perscribed drug.

It sounds more like a urinary tract infection. Cranberry juice, and lots of water. I believe it is necessary to take antibiotics for it as well though. Sorry if this is not the news you wanted. God Bless!

You might have a UTI - have you ever had a bladder infection before? They symptoms you discribe are usually the first signs. You should get tested by your doctor, as an untreated UTI can travel to the kidney and really cause trouble! Good luck, L.

It sounds like you might be preggo or the start of a bladder infection. Hopefully its the better of the two. I think you can take any pregnancy test, the first response say it detects earlier than others but i think they are pretty much all the same.
Good luck and Congrats if you are pregnant!

I'd say it could go either way. You could be pregnant or it could be a UTI. You can take a test this early. Just remember thar everyone's body is different and a negative doesn't necessarily mean you aren't pregnant. It just means you don't hav enough HCG to make it positive. I'd take a test and see, but also make a doctors appointment.
